Kenyan actress Winnie Bwire has revealed that she is battling cancer.

Dida, who stars in the popular Telenovela Sultana on Citizen TV, revealed in an update that she has been battling breast cancer for some time.

The actress and Dan Sonko, another actor, are engaged.

 
 

"As we mark the end of the breast cancer awareness month, I'd love to appreciate your love and support through my journey.

Those in the know walked with me from the very beginning. We’re almost at the end of the lap, and I count myself blessed to have people like you in my life. A big thank you to God- heh, he is the star of my show. Ukweli usemwe."

She went on to thank her family for standing by her at her lowest moments in life.

 
 

"A big thank you to my parents, my in-laws, my cousins, my co-workers, my bosses, my Doctor and nurses, my children, and last but definitely not least, my best friend, my love and caregiver Dan Sonko," she said.

The cancer warrior shared photos of her clean shaved head, wearing a white dress accompanied by cancer awareness hashtags.

"Without y'all, this journey wouldn’t be as smooth. I am here today because of the love, support, and shield you've surrounded me with from the very start," she continued.

Bwire started dating Dan Sonko a few years after the death of his wife Dru Sonko.

The couple has two sons Djibril and Darel whom Sonko had sired with his late wife.
